The M1911A1 was the standard sidearm of US Forces during World War II.

Based on the best-selling book by the late historian Stephen Ambrose, the 10-part miniseries followed the men of "Easy" Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR (Parachute Infantry Regiment) of the 101st Airborne Division from their basic training, through their jump into Normandy on D-Day and up until the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. Band of Brothers is the 2001 HBO World War II miniseries produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.
